Well it looks like you will have some little fry soon! My black mollie (Miss Molly) gave birth about a month ago. I also had a black/gold molly give birth a week later. I now have 30 new fish! So cute when they are babies!

when should i put them in my breeding net beacuse they have no chance of living if i dont

I waited until they were born before I scooped them up and put them in the breeder tank. I put the mother in with the babies but she was aggressive towards the babies so I took her out and just left the fry in the breeder. After about 6 weeks, I let them go in the big tank and all is well.

I separated the babies into a breeder box.. Left the mum in the main tank and after about a week put the fry in their own tank..
Do you have any plants in your tank ? The babies are very good hiders .. I ended up separating the males from females to control the population .. As i struggled to find new homes for them even though i was giving them away... Sometimes its good to leave them in the tank..survival of the fittest that way you get a few babies not 100's .. I now have 3 tanks running due to mollies and guppies breeding
